Jose, In addition to any advice you may receive from your post today, check out the PHP archives. I distinctly remember a discussion related to these models maybe a month back that may be of interest to you. Don't remember if it dealt with your specific concerns, but I'm pretty sure it dealt with the flexibility of application of the two models in different environments. Happy hunting.
